Dennis -- You are asking for a manual - but did not state the PROBLEM that
you NEED the MANUAL FOR.  And possibly the reason that no one will help you
is because of your rude replies to messages.

Also, I happen to be the MIS manager at a large computer repair shop. Part
of this business requires us to have a large stock of manuals for that
printer (repair guides, part listings, ...)

I would have been more than willing to look up ANYTHING that you
needed/wanted (or possibly sell you an extra copy manuals for $10 (what we
paid for ea. copy) plus what ever it costs to ship to the Princeton, NJ
area).  But, I am unwilling to go out of my way for someone who has SPAMed
every newsgroup that deals with printers with this pathetic plea for help.

Also, you may want to upgrade your news client - a 16-bit version of Mozilla
3.04 is a little dated.

Resectfully Yours,

Michael
